I am intending to use thunderbird as my mac desktop mail client to connect to my office email via IMAP. However, I am worried about the amount of harddisk space that it would take on my computer. That has prevented me from using any desktop-based email client. Let's say my account on the company server takes up 10Gb of space, is that 10Gb replicated in thunderbird on the mac or does thunderbird copy only the relevant info that is necessary?

If you use POP then every message is stored on your local disk. If you use IMAP you have a choice whether to store locally or not, but it may become painfully slow waiting for each message to be downloaded when you want to look at it.

If you don't want any local storage then webmail is probably a better solution. Is this feasible with the account in question?
